{Rachel’s Plan Bee sent me a sample of Cocoa Cream to consider for review. It costs $25 for a 5-ounce plastic jar. I purchased three additional jars at full price to gift to my boyfriend and my family.}

Rachel’s Plan Bee Cocoa Cream Ingredients:

Because Cocoa Cream is cut with a couple of carrier oils, it spreads evenly and blends flawlessly into your skin. But, if you’re familiar with Rachel’s Body Butters (and if you’re not, you should be — so good), it has a distinctly different texture.

Imagine a stick of delicious, flavorful butter that’s taken straight from the fridge. It’s hard, but it instantly melts once you work your handle it a bit. That’s Cocoa Cream.

Now, imagine that same stick of butter at room temperature. It’s spreads without much pressure and leaves a beautiful sheen on the skin. That’s Body Butter.

If you use too much of either of these, you will be greasy. Heed Rachel’s advice when she says a little goes a long way. Start with a quarter-sized amount to cover a wide swath of skin (like a leg or an arm).

At first application, heavy-handed Kim used way too much. But in the dead of winter, I didn’t really care — bring on the emollient protection! Besides, any “excess” (is there such a thing?) could be worked into extra-dry areas, like knees, elbows, feet and — hell, why not, it’s bedtime and I shower in the morning — hair.

On subsequent applications, I got the serving size just right, and Rachel’s Plan Bee Cocoa Cream melted into my skin and left a dry yet obviously moisturized finish. It’s the perfect remedy for itchy, dry patches and a nighttime routine that begs for a touch of extra care.
